To be able to produce an SCR catalyst (2), in particular one having a zeolite fraction (Z) as catalytically active fraction, in a reliable process and at the same time achieve good catalytic activity of the catalyst (2), an inorganic binder fraction (B) which is catalytically inactive in the starting state and has been treated to develop catalytic activity is mixed into a catalyst composition (4). The inorganic binder component for the binder fraction (B) is, in the starting state, preferably porous particles (10), in particular diatomaceous earth, which display mesoporosity. To effect catalytic activation, the individual particles (10) are either coated with a catalytically active layer (12) or transformed into a catalytically active zeolite (14) with maintenance of the mesoporosity.

A molecular sieve of MFI structure has a ratio of n(SiO2)/n(Al2O3) of more than 15 and less than 70. It has a content of phosphorus of 1-15 wt %, calculated as P.sub.2O.sub.5 and based on the dry weight of the molecular sieve and a content of the supported metal in the molecular sieve 1-10 wt % based on the oxide of the supported metal and the dry weight of the molecular sieve. The supported metal is one or two selected from lanthanum and cerium. The volume of mesopores in the molecular sieve represents 40-70% by volume of the total pore volume of the molecular sieve by volume, measured by a nitrogen adsorption BET specific surface area method, and the volume of mesopores means the pore volume of the pores having a diameter of more than 2 nm and less than 100 nm.

Processes and systems for producing raw materials and for producing truly circular polymers. The systems and processes may include processing a waste-derived hydrocarbon stream, such as a waste plastic pyrolysis oil, in a first reactor system with a catalyst mixture, and processing a fossil-based feedstock in a second reactor system with the catalyst mixture. The catalyst mixture may be supplied to each of the first and second reactor systems from a common catalyst regenerator. An effluent comprising fossil-based hydrocarbon products may be recovered from the second reactor system, and an effluent comprising waste-derived hydrocarbon products may be recovered from the first reactor system. Following separations, spent catalyst from each of the first and second reactor systems may be returned to the common catalyst regenerator.

A multi-functional composite catalyst includes a catalyst support material, a preformed catalyst material at least partially secured in the catalyst support, and at least one catalytically active compound supported by the catalyst support, the preformed catalyst material, or both. The catalyst support material may include fumed silica, alumina, fumed alumina, fumed titania, or combinations of these. A catalytic activity of the catalytically active compound may be different than a catalytic activity of the preformed catalyst material.
